Dumb question for some smart guys

Hey, for 46 I years have wondered why, when case finshed the production of the 400 that followed the DC, did they come out with a new line that used the same number on the small utility tractor in the 900 to 200 series???? They have confused Case fans for near 50 years by that brillant move.

Ted,
It is just one of many strange things Case management did. It is baffling that Case used 400 and 300 as Farmall already had a 400 and 300 in production as well.

Ditto for the 600 series. However, remember that IHC never had a 500, at least that I'm aware of and I have a very good friend who is an IH nut so I get the real skinny..

Tom, it is strange that Case did the 300-400-500-600-900 and then followed them up with the same number on the so called "B" series. Was still home on the farm then and nobody refered to the 400 as 400B. They usually made reference to the round nose 400 or 300. Didn't know or care about the "B" and we all Case then. Should have used a different numbering scheme to keep them separate.

John, I agree. They talk about "411B's" etc. but all they ever put on the hood was 400, the same as the old series. If they meant series "B" they should have made a decal to that affect.
